IMO, this was not good at all. Not very funny, not very romantic, and didn’t care to delve into any of the truly interesting issues that the plot kept touching on. The only good thing I can say about is that the pop songs were well-written. Most of them sounded like they could be real boy-band radio hits. Sad they…

Agreed. Whether this prosecution is overzealous remains to be seen, but all the alleged “facts” in this story come from the woman’s attorney and are dubious at best. There is so far no evidence to back up her statement that she “prepared extensively” for a home birth. Her attorney has only claimed that she “made…

As someone who has suffered from actual physical abuse in a relationship I strongly disagree. Demanding to have control over what your partner wears, whom they associate with, etc., is completely unreasonable and abusive because it degrades her and her needs, period.  

I totally agree. This was hard for me to watch. I’m nearly 11 months sober, and I was a little shocked by the total lack of humility he had talking about “how it was”. The idea that there was anything “special” about either how or why I used, what my experiences had been, etc., had to “be smashed”, as we say. That…

Loved him in everything, but my favorite thing is the Fringe episode “Brown Betty”, where he sings and plays a Steve Winwood song.

I would love some citations in this article, particularly on this statement: “chatbots in general are often effective balms for individuals seeking company, someone to vent to, sexual fulfillment, or kink play”.

That doesn’t make sense. The Roman Catholic Church does not and never has required both parties to a marriage be catholic. Only one party has to be a Catholic for the ceremony to be sanctioned and performed in church. And all Roman Catholic churches operate under this rule. If any priest tried to go rogue on this and…

Taylor writes a lyric about being wronged, entire planet assumes it’s about [fill in blank] because they cannot fathom that she has relationships and experiences the public knows nothing about.   I have listened to Vigilante Shit about a dozen times now, and it clearly has nothing to do with Kanye, but go ahead girl…

Period panties have seriously changed my life. I’m perimenopausal, which means I have a VERY heavy flow for the first 2-3 days. Changing my tampon hourly was required on these days, and since that’s impossible, I had a lot of leaks and had stained not only all my clothes but all the surfaces in my house.

The number of lacerations and how that was interpreted has always bothered me, but for the opposite reason. The tissue over the skull is thin and splits easily, so it’s not at all unusual to have more than one laceration from a single blow. I once passed out from a standing position, hitting my head once, and ended up…

Rudolf famously represented Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth when he was implicated in the murder of his pregnant girlfriend. By the time he took Peterson on as a client, he’d earned a reputation not only as a preeminent defense lawyer for largely powerless individuals facing an over-empowered…

Ahem, the headline clearly implies he is a bad actor: “incredible cast” plus Jon Voight.  

But you are a bad movie/TV reviewer if you can’t separate the artist from their politics.   

It’s shocking a prosecutor even took this case on.  

No - the plot-twisting became even more ridiculous in this season.   I still had to watch to see how they ended it, but found the finale very underwhelming and silly.  

I will never understand the contempt that some in the Democratic party have displayed towards Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. They are literally our only two allies in their party on some very important issues (see Obamacare, the Violence Against Women Act, gun control, etc.). Of course they are mostly conservative,…

Not that controlling food intake and/or weight is not a method that cult leaders may use to control their members, but having watched both of these docs, and also recently watching the one on Heaven’s Gate, I think another reason weight and diet control is so common in cults is that there is the need/tendency of cult…

The fact that he brought this suit and thinks he can benefit from it is bonkers. Neither one of them can “prove” their wasn’t or wasn’t violence, so he can’t win it (nor can she likely win the counter suit). But what is coming out that can’t be disputed, like the god awful things he says about her in texts and emails…

Seeing a lot of hot takes today on various sites about why we are doing “shapewear” anymore. I think the problem is actually the term “shapewear”. Most foundation garments which are now marketed as shapewear are intended only to smooth the sillohuette under clothing and were designed well before being thin quite thin…

All I could think about when I heard him say that was how his family must have felt hearing it. As if he hasn’t put them through enough already, now he is suggesting for no reason at all that he will be killed in jail. I think he deserves every bit of this sentence, not only for giving ammo to those who deny hate…
